Sudden changes will occur in the workplace from time to time. Assure the interviewer that you are capable of responding quickly, and professionally, to sudden changes in the workplace.
"I am able to think quickly on the job and I do respond well to sudden change. Last week I was asked to tweak a presentation with just a 30 minutes' notice. The changes were significant but luckily I work well under pressure. The presentation went well and our clients were very happy."
"Every day, in my current role, we face last-minute order changes which can be very expensive if not addressed immediately. I am very good at thinking on my feet and I do enjoy the challenge."

The interviewer wants to hear that you've performed under pressure before. Stress is inevitable in the workplace, and they want to hear that you are able to roll with the punches, stay calm and collected, and carry on without much interruption. Assure the interviewer that you are able to think quickly under pressure and adapt, as necessary, to change. It is helpful to provide a brief anecdote, with relevant context, to support your answer.
